VICTORIA. THE GREAT WHITE n1Aansn

NISloRiA, lie IitEAI WHITE NJ
Strangely enough it is not Positively known
where this stone was originally found, though
1t Is believed that it was discovered by some
one III ono OF the Kimberley mines, South
Africa. The original weight of the stone
was l51lI carats, 3 100 ounces, Troy. In or
der TO obtain the brilliant form of cutting, a
piece was clca"ed off which furnished q 10
carat diamond and was sold to the King of
Portugal for el.oco. The cutting of the
larg" stone WAS done at Amsterdam, and it
required twelve months. In its finished con-
dition the stone weighs $50 carats, and is n
beautiful steel blue diamond, acknowledged
rs the largest brilliant i'll the world.
1t is 30 nm. Il liz inches) long, so nm.
Il 1l-G! inchc>) wide, and 23 nm. u5.1G of an
inrio thick, being exceeded in size by one
diatloi"i only. the Orloff, belonging to the
Russian crown. which weighs l94S4 carats,
but is IL Largo deep rose, and not a brilliant.
Tn Ni.t".ia exceeds the Regent in weight
by II / >rurats. The Kohinoor weighs only
Jog | ~ caruts.
Til" three figures in the cut give the front,
back. ana side features of the stone. 1t will
be Observed that the form is not entirely
even. and that ON one side of the girdle there
is quite n Hat place, Il natural unpublished sur
face, necessary, in cutting, to preserve the
large weight of the stone. 1t is, however, O
perfect IS facet brilliant. The stone today is
held by n London syndicate for 9200,0 00.

FIG. 2-cow MASGER.

The new style manger illustrated in the
second cut is described in Prairie Farmer
as follows: The manger should slope well
back, and should have u feed box ut the
bottom. The floor should slope one inch
in six feet, and should be divided into
stalls three feet wide, or wider for large
cows.
The novel feature in this is the pole in
back part of the stall. 1t ought to be
placed just far back enough so that the
cows hind feet are behind it while she is
still or eating. This causes all droppings
to fall behind the pole. When she wishes
to lie down she will lower her head, step
forward, and lie down i'll front of tho pole,
where she never becomes soiled with the
manure Tho stick or pole should be
firmly fastened to tho floor.

for all Departments.
Tho denims, both blue and brown, are re-
garded with much favor at present as suscep-
tible of very artistic effects in furnishing and
decorating the house. A very handsome
pair of curtains is of brown denim, lined with
unbleached canton flannel, finished at top and
bottom with wide bands of golden brown
plush and with leaves Of the plush appliqued
on to the body of the curtain with gold thread.
A pretty and inexpensive material for a
crumb cloth may be found i'll blue denim.
The denim crumbc cloth may be edged around
with broad strips of scarlet striped ticking or
made up of alternate wide strips of the blue
denim and scarlet ticking.
The pine shelves supported with brackets,
which arc so common in country houses, in
lieu of the more expensive mantcls, look very
neat when covered with blue or brown denim
and finished on the front edge with a fringe

Beautiful Barkeepers.

1.-THE handsomest men in New York" said
a we'll known physician the other day, ARE
the bartenders. The modern bartender of a
fest class barroom is required to be abstemi-
Gus in his habits. Saloon keepers, as a rule,
do not want a man around them who drinks.
The result is that bartenders have good COM
plexions and clear eyes. They have plenty of
time to pay attention to their personal up
pearance, and as a class make up better than
any other set of men in New York. You
might put o hundred of them in n bah room,
and they would outshine the pick and flower
OF New York aristocracy. New York

A Toll Taking Device.

An automatic toll taking device has been
invented, to be attached to telephones at
public or pay stations. The mechanism in
the telephone box is so arranged that the tele-
phone will not operate until a coin of certain
size and weight, dropped into q slit in front,
acts upon q switch lever, thereby making
electrical connections between the transmit.
ter and the line wire. The act of hanging
the receiving telephone after use in the place
provided for it drops the coin into a till and
releases the switch lever, thereby breaking
the electrical connection and Setting the
trap" for the next user.-Home Journal.

ElnxSecd for pirs.

Professor Stewart advocates naXsccd as
a food medicine for pigs. Its oil is sooth-
ing to the stomach and intestincs and tits
also rich in food for muscle and bone. He
tells in Country Gentleman how to use it.
Boil the flaXsced in six times its bulk of
water till it forms u jelly; now mix u lit
tie of this jelly with wheat bran and you
have an excellent food for growing n pig.
This is also good food for the brood SOW,
promoting her yield OF milk. If used in
this way, one pound of boiled flaXsccd is
mixed with ten pounds of bran. Pigs
very soon get n liking for the taste of flax
